Ghosts

A ghost is the apparition of someone who has died. Popular culture has depicted a wide variety of ghosts associated with Halloween and works of fiction meant to be scary. Ghosts have been portrayed as genuinely frightening and gory to lighter depictions meant as fun or even friendly.

This particular style of ghost was rebuilt in 2011 and used in a short promo for The Muppets. [1]

A different ghost puppet appeared in episode 307 of The Muppet Show, echoing the dance moves of Alice Cooper in "Welcome to My Nightmare" and Thog in "Once a Year Day." While this ghost also floated and was filmed so as to seem transparent, his appearance differed in that his body appeared to be wrapped like a mummy and he had two legs instead of no discernible lower half.

Merchandise

A non-articulated Ghost action figure, based on the first Muppet Show season model, was included as an accessory with the Uncle Deadly Action Figure. It included a clear base and stand to make the Ghost appear as if it were floating. Three different paint schemes were produced -- regular, clear, and glow-in-the-dark.
